White Rage:
what you get when bad actors working for oligarchs convince a bunch of disadvantaged people that another disadvantaged group of people is responsible for their situation, rather than the oligarchs siphoning up all wealth, & keeping wage slaves from upward mobility.
It's finding a scapegoat that distracts from the consolidation of wealth as the ultimate cause of a lack of social mobility, to protect the status quo for the bajillionaire class.
And for many at the capitol, their participation was performative, not true 'white rage.'
These business owners, those who flew in on private jets, those funded by Mike Lindell - they WERE the agents of the oligarchs. The brand ambassadors, per se.
White Rage is what happens when aspirational politics meets reality.
Or, rather, White Rage is what happens when 30 years of aspirational politics meets the results of 30 years of aspirational politics.

Maybe it's time for legislatures to consider passing laws that have jurisdiction based on population density?
AR-15s should be illegal to possess anywhere there is a population density > n / 550m, where n is the number of individuals with control over use of the weapon...
So, this one is gonna take a while to get my head around... but I've found something that contradicts the reporting below already, though I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not... washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

TFW an insurrectionist who took his daughter to DC to steal Nancy Pelosi's laptop to sell it to Russian Intelligence gets busted for trying to get a 14yo girl to film herself going to the bathroom over snapchat...
It's been known for a while that he's a child sexual predator, but I'd gotten tips that he was gonna... go through some things, so I waited for a mainstream outlet to drop the news.
In no way am I trying to justify the shooting of Daunte Wright.
However, this document (case 27-CR-19-29850 via publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us/DocumentSearch), should be noted as it suggests a reason that the shooting officer was moved to draw any weapon at all.*
Again, the shooting can not be justified... but neither can the media reporting his outstanding warrant as simply 'marijuana-related' and failing to report for two full days on the more serious prosecution wherein he attempted to strangle a woman at gunpoint.
This delay in reporting gives those who intend to use fear as a weapon and exacerbate racial tensions - they relish the opportunity to to decry those justifiably outraged at LE treatment of black men...
